39 - Arielle Haughee
Episode description
In this episode of Buzz on Book Biz, I am delighted to interview a children’s author and publisher of children’s books. Formerly an elementary school teacher, Arielle Haughee (Hoy) is a six-time RPLA-winning author and the owner of Orange Blossom Publishing. She is an editor, speaker, and writing coach, and was previously the Executive Vice President and Conference Chair for the Florida Writers Association.
She was honored with the President’s Award from FWA in 2020, and in 2021 Pling’s Party was awarded Children’s Book of the Year. We talk about children’s books, what makes a good children’s book, and how she works with children’s authors to publish their books. Children’s books are not as easy to write as some people might think! Have a listen as Arielle is full of insights about kids books and the importance of illustrations.
